I’ve just had a look: and the OP both come from Brandenburg, where building is even cheaper than in SH or Lower Saxony. At least that’s what I’ve often read here in the forum. Someone noticed a few days ago that this might also be due to the proximity to Poland. I can well imagine that if the labor force comes from neighboring countries, the price is also lower. At least that was the case with us. In that respect, these prices could be accurate. But still, it really can’t be that there’s constantly a competition here about who paid the lowest price. Take the bathroom washbasin as an example: I believe I remember that prices from €1000 were quoted at the hardware store. In the sanitary showroom from €2000. Poco and Ikea about €500. To me, it was all too expensive and I already had a wooden board painted with boat varnish in the old house, into which a built-in washbasin was installed. So now our countertop washbasin got a 1.60 m long kitchen worktop. The supports were €60 from Praktiker. Below that an Ikea base cabinet. I think we were at about €150 total. But that’s not a reason for me to say that a washbasin costs €150 here. It cost me that because we wanted a creative solution. Still, the price, when someone asks here, is around €1000 upwards. I wouldn’t take Poco and Ikea as an average value in the calculation either. Basically, the average standard should be stated and not the creative alternative, just as little as the Mercedes/Miele price. Apart from that, no one benefits here from not giving real prices. If someone doesn’t have to pay for the disposal of their excavation, that’s great for them. But it could be that the current builder is less lucky and has to pay heavily in the four-digit range: that really hurts when the buffer you had has already flowed into the reinforced foundation slab. Then the mixed calculation for the carport has to cover the extras in the kitchen and sanitary, and you have to save for the carport over years. And the phrase like “if there’s still money left, then...” echoes its mocking song in the empty rooms of the new building.
